Jay Could and His Grandson.

New York World.
The meeting between Mr.. Gould and his grand
son was held with closed doors. but any grand
father who remembers how he felt and what he
did when he first saw his first grandson, knows
all about it. OF course he wanted to take the
dainty little bundle in his lap. and shake its
pink little feet at each other and chuck it under
the chin, but the nurse restrained him and he
sat and looked at the young heir through his
gold bowed spsctacles, watching him closer than
he ever watched ticker, and with as much de-
light. The little grandson took it very naturally
He did not know Mr.. Jay Gould at first an d
made faces at him. Then he put up his chubby
little fists and spent some time in struggling TO
grasp something in the air. And though he did
not get hold of any thing he showed that he was
born to be good grasper and Mr.. Gould seemed
pleased. The youngest George is a striking bru-
nette like his father He has little black eyes
that are very bright, end both Mr.. and Mrs.
George Gould think he is the sweetest little
bundle of great possibilities ever in the city T
any other city. He has as yet developed no ta =
emit for the stage. He has not been named yet

as a starter the board, was enormously
